About this listen

In May of 1970 Bill Holiday was finishing his sophomore at Windham College, a liberal arts college in Putney Vermont. One day everything changed when the Army National Guard enforced Marshal Law on the campus of an Ohio university by using military weapons to kill 4 students at random.   Twenty years later Mr. Holiday, a teacher at Brattleboro Union High School, in Brattleboro, Vermont, invited activists, officials, and participants of those tragic events to his high school for a symposium about the Vietnam war era. As people often do, when asked to tell their story, many of them said, “Yes.”    In this episode, we talk about the events at Kent State University in 1970 and Bill’s efforts to make those stories relevant to learners of all ages.
